We also make it available in a read-only mode to our clients so they can monitor their production instances as well. It's not the company supported/supplied software, but since that doesn't work well enough, we've supplemented it with Spotlight for our most important instances.,I love the main page that provides a color code list of all the servers so I know very quickly where to focus my attention first.

I love how easy it is to configure a new server to monitor.,My only complaint was the cost.,8,It had a positive impact in two main areas.
